"Honey, this is Ummi, son..." Asma stroked Maryam's head in a small hijab. Maryam who had regained consciousness could only look at her mother with tears without being able to make a sound.
"Everything will be fine, Ummi and Abi are here, dear" the mother said softly. And Maryam only responded with a sob that she could not stand.
And in the end, her cries broke and she hugged her mother very tightly. The two women could no longer say a word and could only cry.
And Bilal immediately grabbed the two into his arms, he could only hug and kiss his daughter, hoping it could calm his daughter down.
Mary powerless to stem her tears saw the scene before her.
"Oh Allah, strengthen us" muttered the father and tightened his arms.
Mary turned around and was about to leave Mary's room. In front of Maryam's room, Faraz could only lean her back against the door and she cried as well.
"We belong to You, we are Your servants, so have mercy on us, O Lord..." Faraz prayed in between her cries and Mary heard it.
"It's definitely coming to an end, sir" exclaimed Mary giving Faraz a little strength.

The clock shows at 12pm, Erick who works at a bar just got home on his motorcycle.
On the way, four cars followed him. Then the two cars blocked Erick's path and the other two were behind Erick, besieging Erick.
Erick stays on his bike and waits for them to come out.
Sure enough, Amar Degazi got out of the car in front of him and it was Erick guessed. But the person from the other three cars remained unmoved. Erick showed no fear or surprise. He immediately got off his motorbike and walked up to Amar who also walked gallantly approaching him.
"What's up, Degazi? You surrounded me? Want to play crack like a coward?" her taunts. But it did not make Amar offended and he instead rang and without aba aba...
BUUGGGH.
"Agh..." Erick groaned in pain getting a very hard blow on his jaw. Even one blow of Amar made his mouth bleed.
"You attacked a student in the middle of the night, what a cowardly act" Erick later spit.
"What more cowardly thing is trapping an innocent girl to avenge me, eh?" hiss Amar and he returned to punch Erick but Erick fended him off, did not run out of sense Amar kicked Erick's stomach with his knee to make Erick fall down and hold back his agonizing groan.
Erick who is still falling makes Amar not waste the opportunity to step on Erick's hand with his expensive shoes. Erick's injured hand made Erick groan in pain.
"This wind has touched my girl who has always kept herself" Erick groaned whether Amar stepped on her very hard. Amar pulls Erick's collar to make Erick rise and Amar again raises his fist.
Erick growled furiously and he expended all his ability to clash blows with Amar. Even a fight cannot be avoided. It turned out that Erick was strong enough he even managed to make Amar's face bruise and the corners of his lips bleed. But it is not Amar Degazi if he can not reply many times and even make Erick overwhelmed.
Until one last blow on Erick's heart makes Erick fall down and almost helpless again.
Amar stopped hitting, he sat on Erick's motorcycle casually and gestured the people in the three cars to get out.
And how shocked Erick was, seeing his father, mother and sister coming out of each car with a big man. Erick growls in anger and is about to attack Amar but Amar easily incapacitates him.
"Detach them. Damn you, Degazi!" her screams angry.
"Why? You said nothing would happen to them because you're gonna take care of them?" amar asked casually and it made Erick glare in wonder, as he only said that to Maryam. Did Maryam tell Amar?
"They have nothing to do with us, don't be a coward by sniffing my parents and my sister, damn it" her wrathful fury.
"I don't insult them, they come with me willingly. It's you, trapping my future wife, injecting drugs, locking her up and torturing her like a psychopath. Maryam also has nothing to do with us, she doesn't know anything. But with so depraved you're torturing her"
Erick could no longer answer, he could only growl in anger. He knew it shouldn't be hard for Amar to know all that information. But why is it that detailed he knows all about it?
"No, not my sister, please." Erick pleaded, but Amar didn't care.
The man violently pushed the frightened Lily to the point of throwing Lily near Amar.
Amar grabbed Lily's hair to make Lily stand up and Lily groaned in pain even she cried.
"Don't touch her, Amar. Please please... Release my sister. Please please"
"Maryam is also begging you to let her go, but are you letting her go, huh? You slapped him instead, you bastard" cried Amar very angry.
"Ask them..." Amar pointed to Erick's parents who were silent and wept "As for their feelings if his daughter was treated this way..."
"God..." Lily fell down after Amar slapped her and it made Erick very angry, he was already about to avenge Amar but the two big men were holding Erick.
"And how would you feel if your sister was treated so contemptuously?" hiss Amar then gripped Lily's shoulder and pulled Lily up and Amar tore Lily's pajamas, making Lily hysterical and frightened.
"Stop Amar, please...." Erick knelt in front of Amar and he could not stem his tears. Erick stared regretfully at the two parents who were silent and crying.
Amar was deaf, he was about to pull off Lily's pajamas but Erick immediately grabbed Amar's leg and pleaded...
"For God's sake, I didn't rape Maryam. Please let go of my sister" he said.
Amar was silent for a moment, but then he even showed his slanted smile.
"I didn't rape your sister either" Amar said "I just want to know how you feel and how your parents feel if their daughter is treated so contemptuously" Amar pushed Lily away. Then he grabbed Erick by the collar and once again hit Erick's shapeless face, still wanting to vent his anger. And this time, Erick resigned and did not fight.
"Maryam is a girl who always takes care of herself, she doesn't even want to shake hands with me until this second even though I'm her future husband, and you... You humiliate him, you dirty him, bastard" cried Amar about to throw another punch but he could bear to see the condition of Erick who was already helpless.
"I'm sorry, for God's sake I didn't desecrate her" Erick said.
"But you've crushed him to his confidence, you've crushed his mentality, and even tarnished his big surname. Clean up Maryam's name and Erick's family, or you'll get much worse than this" Amar said sharply. Then he took off his suit and covered Lily's body. Embrace Lily and bring her back to the car.
Making Erick confused, even his parents were about to get into the car willingly.
Erick immediately ran and prevented him, he was afraid Amar would vent his anger on them.
"Ma, Pa, don't come with them. They can hurt you" Erick said of reaching for his mother's hand but her mother brushed Erick off.
"We're just afraid of you, Erick" said the mother with a voice, even her mother's gaze made Erick's heart so sore "I don't think, I can give birth to a monster like you"
Erick stared at both his parents and his sister alternately, Lily staring hatefully at Erick.
"Bad brother" Lily sizzled "Lily is a girl, sister. Mama is also a girl, how can Big Brother bend things as low as that to Kak Angel? What's wrong, Angel? Even now everyone is dragging the name of his grandfather and his pesantren. Brother is worse than the monster knows you, everyone thinks bad about Kak Angel because of brother"
"Papa's disappointed in you, Rick. Papa who failed to keep the company but you instead blame others, papa is ashamed to have a child like you" said the father was full of disappointment.
Erick could only stand idly by and he accepted all the charges. He regretted doing that to Mary.
"God will punish you harder than this"
Maryam's words are like a curse come true. What punishment is more severe than being hated by his own family. Even her little sister looked as if she was staring in disdain at Erick, her mother was staring scarredly, and her father looked extremely disappointed.
"God will punish you harder than this"
The words continued to ring even as the four cars passed and left Erick alone in the dark of the night with deep regret.
